Information about the package, gridengine, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The gridengine package is designed for, Grid Engine - Distributed Computing Management software.
Package Name:
gridengine
Summary:
Grid Engine - Distributed Computing Management software
Description:
advertising In a typical network that does not have distributed resource management software, workstations and servers are used from 5% to 20% of the time. Even technical servers are generally less than fully utilized. This means that there are a lot of cycles that can be used productively if only users know where they are, can capture them, and put them to work. Grid Engine finds a pool of idle resources and harnesses it productively, so an organization gets as much as five to ten times the usable power out of systems on the network. That can increase utilization to as much as 98%. Grid Engine software aggregates available compute resources and delivers compute power as a network service. These are the local files shared by both the qmaster and execd daemons. You must install this package in order to use any one of them.
